Memorandum
To:
Oneida Business Committee Officers
From: Justin Nishimoto, Economic Strategy Coordinator
Date: November 22, 2024
Re:
EDDCD Fund Sponsorship for Pool Tournament
Background:
The November 13, 2024, Oneida Business Committee meeting, the Business Committee
motioned: “So I have a motion to direct the general manager, economic strategy Coordinator
and Chief Financial Officer to review to bring back a response to the request and to identify a
potential funding mechanism to the December 11th, 2024, regular Business Committee
meeting.” This request to use the EDDCD fund to sponsor the pool tournament and if it aligns
with the fund.
Current Request:
Ray Skenandore and Dr. Pool are requesting for $163,883.00 to sponsor Women’s Professional
Billiards Association World Championship and the Roy Skenandore Memorial Tournament at the
Oneida Hotel.
Findings after review
The pool tournament and the sponsorship for the WPBA World Championship tournament
would be considered an economic and community development for the Nation. According to
the submission from Dr. Pool and Mr. Skenandore, the projected potential revenue is about
$266,000 for the weekend going to the Oneida Hotel, Gaming, and restaurants. This is the gross
revenues for a weekend, but this projected if there is a lot of gaming and the hotel sells the full
number of rooms. There will be a lot of local players that might not stay at the hotel nor gamble.
This is why this would be a bigger potential for community development, as it will serve as a
memorial for Roy Skenandore, potential education for youth, and marketing and advertising
dollars to the local, national, and international audiences.
The Guiding Document utilized to determine the use of the EDDCD funds include the Economic
Development Plan which have the following economic related items:
¾ Marketing and Image – Raise the Oneida Nation’s profile through marketing efforts
aimed at internal and external audiences.
¾ Visitor Attraction – Elevate the role of the Oneida Reservation as a visitor destination
with events, conferences, and new tourist attractions.

In Closing
The requested $163,883.00 payment from the Economic Development, Diversity, and
Community Development fund and this is appropriate use of these funds. I would further ask if
the Oneida Casino and Hotel keep specific data to see if this could be a potential for revenue
generation.

Statement of Effect
Approval of Use of EDDCD Funds for a donation of $163,883 for donation for Roy Skenandore
Memorial Pool Tournament
Summary
The resolution approves an allocation of one hundred sixty three thousand eight hundred eighty
three dollars ($163,883) from the Fund for the purpose of donation to the Roy Skenandore
Memorial Pool Tournament.
Submitted by: Clorissa N. Leeman, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Date: December 4, 2024
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
The Oneida Business Committee has adopted resolutions which set aside funds disbursed from
corporations to the Nation in an Economic Development, Diversification and Community
Development fund (“the Fund”) and describes the process for accessing those funds. [Resolutions
BC-09-28-16-B, BC-07-12-17-A, BC-12-12-18-B, BC-01-23-19-C, BC-01-23-19-D, and BC-0526-21-B]. When a request to utilize monies from the Fund is received, the Review Team,
comprised of the Strategic Planner, Business Analyst, and the Budget Analyst, review the request
for use of the Fund and determines if the proposed use is consistent with the Fund. The Review
Team is then required to provide a written recommendation to the Oneida Business Committee
regarding whether to authorize the allocation from the Fund to a specific project identified by a
contract number, CIP number, economic development opportunity number or other easily
trackable number or designation. The Oneida Business Committee is then responsible for
authorizing use of the Fund by a resolution clearly identifying the amount of funds authorized and
purpose of the funds, which may be identified by a contract number, CIP number, economic
development opportunity number or other easily trackable number or designation, and the
employee responsible for authorizing expenditures of the authorized amount.
Through the adoption of this resolution the Oneida Business Committee would be approving an
allocation of one hundred sixty three thousand eight hundred eighty three dollars ($163,883) from
the Fund for the purpose of donation to the Roy Skenandore Memorial Pool Tournament. This
resolution provides that the one hundred sixty three thousand eight hundred eighty three dollars
($163,883) from the Fund is not intended to be used for any other expenses, and any unspent funds
will be returned to the Fund.
This resolution does not specifically state how utilizing the Fund for this purpose is aligned with
the Oneida Business Committee Broad Goals or the approved Economic Development Plan
Elements, but one may assume this threshold was met if the resolution is ultimately being
recommended. Dean Roeseler, of Dr. Pool is identified as the responsible employees for this
allocation of funding. This resolution does not directly provide a contract number, CIP number,
Page 1 of 2
Public Packet
41 of 326
economic development opportunity number or other easily trackable number or designation – but
this funding could be tracked through the resolution number.
Conclusion
Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.

Statement of Effect
Amendment to BC Resolution # 03-23-22-D Obligation for Amelia Cornelius Culture Park &
Veterans Wall Enhancements, Utilizing Tribal Contribution Savings
Summary
The resolution amends resolution BC-03-23-22-D, Obligation for Amelia Cornelius Culture Park
& Veterans Wall Enhancements Utilizing Tribal Contribution Savings, to extend the date in which
the project needs to be completed by from December 31, 2024, to December 31, 2026.
Submitted by: Clorissa N. Leeman, Senior Staff Attorney, Legislative Reference Office
Date: December 4, 2024
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Office
The Oneida Nation received federal funds through the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA)
funds to address matters arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Oneida Business Committee
has approved application of ARPA funds to lost revenue and allocation of tribal funds to the ARPA
Federal Rescue Funds to investments in the “Lost Revenue” line (ARPA FRF LR) in the
Investment Report. The savings from the application of these funds has resulted in tribal funds
being placed in the line “Tribal Contribution Savings” in the Investment Report presented in the
Treasurer’s Report”
The Oneida Business Committee determined that these funds should be used as set out in resolution
BC-06-09-21-B, Setting Goals for Application of Funding from the American Rescue Plan Act of
2021 to Direct Support to Individuals, Families, Community and the Oneida Nation, as amended
by resolution BC-06-23-21-C, Amendment # 1 to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Investment
Allocation to Direct Membership Assistance. In resolution BC-06-09-21-B, the Oneida Business
Committee identified that the primary applications for the use of ARPA FRF would be to aid
members and create tangible benefits related to housing, food sovereignty, education, and culture.
In addition, the Oneida Business Committee directed the ARPA FRF to be spread across a three
(3) year period in eight (8) specific categories to guide expenditures to meet such primary
applications in an informed and transparent manner through the approval of projects by resolution.
After the adoption of resolution BC-06-09-21-B, the Oneida Business Committee received
information which indicated that there was a more immediate need to address the pandemic’s
twelve (12) to fifteen (15) month negative impact on the membership’s access to jobs, education,
healthcare, and housing. The Oneida Business Committee then adopted resolution BC-06-23-21C, Amendment # 1 to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 Investment Allocation to Direct
Membership Assistance, which amended resolution BC-06-09-21-B to reflect its decision, which,
more specifically, was to apply the 45% Direct Membership Assistance payment of three thousand
dollars ($3,000) in the current fiscal year, with any remaining funds after the payment to be
allocated in Fiscal Years 2022 and 2023. Additionally, resolution BC-06-23-21-C provided
clarification on the eligibility for membership assistance general welfare exclusion payments,
Page 1 of 2
Public Packet
48 of 326
application period, obligation, and ability to approve projects across fiscal years; and directed that
the allocations be reviewed at least each fiscal year to determine whether modifications should be
made. The work sheet that was attached to resolution BC-06-09-21-B was also deleted by
resolution BC-06-23-21-C and replaced with the work sheet attached thereto, entitled, American
Recovery Plan Act – FRF; Lost Revenue; ARPA FRF LR Investments – Updated June 23, 2021.
The Oneida Business Committee was then presented with recommended amendments to the
processes based on implementation of the June 2021 resolutions, application of ARPA FRF
through the lost revenue formula, identification of direct use and Tribal Contribution Savings. The
Oneida Business Committee reviewed the recommendations and determined that the
recommended amendments offer clarification in the processes and provide reporting at intervals
that will keep all parties informed on the status of approved projects. The Oneida Business
Committee then adopted resolution BC-03-30-22-A, Updating Tribal Contribution Savings
Processes and Allocations, which superseded the processes identified in Resolve #6 of resolution
BC-06-09-21-B, as amended by Resolve #2 of resolution BC-06-23-21-C and adopted a new
project approval process which was to be supplemented with needed Standard Operating
Procedures approved by the FRF Program Office.
Resolution BC-03-30-22-A had certain responsibilities delegated to the Strategic Planner. For the
2023-2026 term the Oneida Business Committee has removed the Strategic Planner from the
approved positions for the support of the Oneida Business Committee. The Oneida Business
Committee has identified a need to amend the reporting process and provide the membership
reporting on the status of the TC Savings projects funds. Through the adoption of resolution BC05-22-24-A, Amending BC Resolution 03-30-22-A, Updating Tribal Contribution Savings
Processes and Allocations, the Oneida Business Committee amends the reporting process
identified in resolution BC 03-30-22-A to address reporting by the project owner and the Chief
Financial Officer. This resolution also provides that the resolution BC-03-30-22-A updated Tribal
Contributions Savings Allocation spreadsheet is the last approved Tribal Contribution Savings
Allocation spreadsheet and is attached to this amended BC resolution.
The Oneida Business Committee adopted resolution BC-03-23-22-D, Obligation for Amelia
Cornelius Culture Park & Veterans Wall Enhancements Utilizing Tribal Contribution Savings,
which approved the obligation of funds for the Amelia Cornelius Culture Park & Veterans Wall
Enhancements project, in the amount of $2,682,210 from Tribal Contribution Savings, (Culture
and Language) with Michelle Danforth Anderson, Marketing and Tourism Director, assigned as
the Project Owner. This project was to be concluded by December 31, 2024. Resolution BC-0323-22-D was exempt from the statement of effect requirement in accordance with resolution BC07-28-21-L, Amending Requirement for a Statement of Effect to Exclude Resolutions Obligating
ARPA FRF LR Funds for Projects Approved Through the FRF Office.
This resolution amends resolution BC-03-23-22-D to extend the date in which the project needs to
be completed by from December 31, 2024, to December 31, 2026, and also adds in references CIP
numbers #19-004, #22-108, #22-109, and #24-104.
Conclusion
Adoption of this resolution would not conflict with any of the Nation’s laws.
